President Trump fired Rohit Chopra, the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) on Saturday.

Rohit Chopra had led the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau since 2021. Consumer groups praised his leadership, while Republicans have frequently attacked the agency.

President Donald Trump has fired the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Rohit Chopra, in the latest purge of a Biden administration holdover.

Trump fires the Elizabeth Warren protege, and the CFPB could now be shut down.

Rohit Chopra returned over $6 billion into the pockets of everyday people during his tenure as head of the CFPB.

The bureau is operating illegally, and lawsuits will close it down eventually. Trump can act now.

During Trump's first term, the Republican had picked Chopra as a Democratic member of the Federal Trade Commission.
